Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly reflects on the criticism he faced for naming Rohit Sharma as India captain, replacing Virat Kohli. Ganguly recalls the backlash but feels vindicated after India's triumph in the T20 World Cup under Sharma's leadership. "When I handed Rohit Sharma the captaincy of the Indian team, everyone criticised me," Ganguly said. "Now that India has won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, everyone has stopped abusing me for it." With both Sharma and Kohli retiring from T20Is, the Indian team is entering a new phase under head coach Gautam Gambhir, though the duo will continue in Tests and ODIs.
